Pictures should be displayed and they don’t belong in shoeboxes. Scrapbooking is a very popular and profitable hobby. It is gaining a larger and larger following, with scrapbook stores popping up everywhere. This fundraiser will encourage people to get their pictures out of the shoebox and into albums for people to enjoy. A scrapbook crop is simply a term for a group of people coming together to work on their pictures scrapbooking and share equipment and ideas. Schedule your “crop” for a Saturday or Sunday or for a Friday night. A cafeteria would be the perfect location for this type of event. Sell tickets that will entitle each scrapbooker to a flat workspace, about 4’ by 2½’ is a good size, and lunch. There are a few direct marketing scrapbooking companies, such as Creative Memories or Stampin’ Up, which may have consultants in your area. Contact them to see if they would like to offer their expertise and products for sale at the “crop”. They may be willing to donate a portion of their proceeds from sales to your group. Alternatively, see if a local scrapbook store will let you use their “crop” area for your event. Your participants would have access to their tools and be able to buy all the supplies they need. Bring in pizza and soda for lunch for everyone to enjoy.
